[Touring] Say goodbye to hand numbness! What is the vibration reduction effect of handlebar weights?

After a tour, it's tough to grip the throttle due to hand numbness... This is a common issue. With the handlebar weight "VIBEX" that suppresses vibrations from the engine and the road surface, let's enjoy long tours in a more comfortable way.

Why handle vibration countermeasures are important

During touring, the subtle vibrations transmitted from the engine or the road can accumulate, leading to hand fatigue and numbness. Riders who frequently travel on highways or long distances are likely to feel this more acutely.

To alleviate such burdens, the "VIBEX" from EFFEX was developed. By simply attaching it to the handlebar ends, this item aims to suppress unpleasant vibrations. It may not be a flashy custom, but it enhances riding comfort significantly.

Dynamic damper structure that absorbs vibrations

The heart of the VIBEX lies in its unique balancer structure. It evolves the "dynamic damper effect," where weights cancel out vibrations, to efficiently absorb uncomfortable jolts that reach the hands. The bar ends are also treated with ion plating (a process that gives color and luster to metal surfaces), enhancing not only function but also the aesthetic quality.

2 types and 7 colors to choose from according to your riding style

The lineup consists of two types with different weights. For long-distance touring enthusiasts who want to reduce vibrations, the 250g GT type is suitable, while the 102g ST type is ideal for those who prefer light handling. It accommodates inner diameters of φ14 and φ18-19, and is available in seven colors including black, gold, and titanium. You can choose according to the atmosphere of your beloved bike.

A small custom can change the satisfaction of touring

The fun of riding a motorcycle is not just about speed. Being able to ride comfortably to your destination without getting tired is also one of the important attractions. If you have recently been feeling that your hands get tired easily or that you notice numbness on long rides, it might be worth checking this out.
